We Want English Audio! (JAPAN/ASIA) - Updated Unofficial English Voice over
Mod!
Well someone needs to start this so let's get the ball rolling! As you know the
NA/ROW has both the English and Japanese voiceover. We Asians only get the
Japanese voice over! Not all Asians understand Japanese so if you want support
for English voice overs for the ASIAN version please post here. Original post
for the NA campaign:

As it can be seen there.
For the rest who have to download twice the amount and don't like Japanese
Audio. Sorry but we just wanted to make Square Enix know there is a demand for
the original voices.
Thanks to everyone who supported this topic too. We made a difference.
Now I was also hoping that the other regions would get English as a choice as
well but I don't think that happened.
Thanks to a community member there is an unofficial fix to add English
Voiceovers. However it should only be attempted if you are comfortable with
editing files or you might mess up your installation and corrupt your original
30 GB download. As usual make backups of your original installation before
attempting this method:

Update (for those who cannot wait)
I have finish download the NE version from somewhere you may know. I combine
the files to the one in my steam directory as follows.
0. Do not forget to make backups of the files in 1. ( and maybe 2.).
1. Replace the launcher: FFXiiiLauncher.exe,
2. Replace the whole directory of white_data.
Then everything will be fine. We do not have to do any crack, just launch the
game using the steam client. Now the launcher will have an option to select
language audio.
It is noted that the save progress can be used together among the versions. If
you decide to make the backup of the whole directory in 2., you may end up with
losing the hard disk space of up to 30GB.
Addition information
In fact, you do not have to replace the files. You can just add the addition
files, from the NE version, with having 'us' as suffix. For the launcher, you
can also keep it using the original JAPAN/ASIA version. To change the audio to
English, you have to edit the "setup.xml" file using any text editor, for
instance, Notepad. You can see that there is the code say <voice_mode>. What
you have to do is to replace the value from 0 to 1. Now, when you launch the
game, even there is no option for audio, the game will have English voice-over.
I have to note that there is a different between the two launchers (as I know
for now). That is the "confirmation" and the "cancel" keys of using the
controller are swapped, i.e. NE version presses "A" to confirm, whereas ASIA
version presses "B".
basically it means to buy the game on Steam.. then the "somewhere you may know" is from any Jack Sparrow source. Replace files as above (but without running the crack file). Best do backup of the entire 30GB before attempting.
I will try this method... at least i'm playing the original copy rather than pirated... Pirated later gimme unnecessary bugs from all the file alteration that they do.
